Napoleon Hostel

The Napoleon Hostel offers two things that most hostels in Moscow don't: a great location, and great hospitality from the staff. The hostel is located by the Kitai Gorod metro station, just a five minute walk from Red Square, and two minutes from the metro station that will get you anywhere in the city. The staff is the friendliest and most helpful in Moscow, and will gladly point you in the direction of the best attractions, clubs, tell you how to get to the airport, or anywhere else you'd like to go in the city, and they'll even have a vodka with you! Rooms are clean and come with clean sheets and towels, and there are two computers with free internet for all guests. Best of all, the hostel has a friendly atmosphere, and sometimes you won't want to leave at all!

I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful, and the accommodations are clean and nicer than most hostels, plus the location is perfect. This is definitely the best place to stay in Moscow if you're on a budget. Napoleon made my trip so much better!

This was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had (and I've stayed at a lot of hostels around Europe). The owner and staff were incredibly helpful, even helping me sort out train tickets. The atmosphere here is friendly and fun.

I am very surprised to see such positive reviews here about Napoleon. I stayed at Napoleon hostel during my trip last summer. While the location was convenient in Kitai Gorod, it's really nothing more than a fourth floor apartment. The two showers were not nearly enough for the number of people they packed in. And the hostel is in pretty much desperate need of renovation. Guests were boozing and jumping around all night, not giving anyone a chance to sleep. I ending up moving to another hostel for the duration of my stay. There seems to be a nice selection of better hostels. AVOID!

awesome time in Napoleon. Met some cool Italians and we had a riot in Moscow's crazy clubs - even if we were nearly bankrupt afterwards

Napoleon Hostel is the best hostel in the world! These guys saved me in September, when my Russian visa was running out. They did everything they could to help me out, going way above the call of duty to schedule appointments for me and so on. Without them I would have succumbed to pure panic for sure! Thanks Napoleon Hostel for helping me get on the train and out of Russia!

Best hostel ever!
